"Within 5 years, 50% of American classrooms will have interactive white boards. In the UK, 80% have them now."
I chose to watch a YouTube video rather than read an article because it better suits the subject matter. :) Marzano's main point is that we should use what we know about teaching without technology to better use the technology we have. ActiveBoards make a huge difference about whether or not kids learn to the best of their ability.
I will use my whiteboard (since I'll likely have one when I am a teacher) to further integrate students into the learning they are doing. It must be used well, though, so I will train myself accordingly.
Do you think students learn better from a whiteboard or an avtivboard. I love using whiteboards as well, but all of this talk about children being ready for the future in technology and students being more intrigued with technology makes me think how long it will take until schoools no longer have whiteboards? Crazy. I hope I never have to say, "RIP whiteboards" haha.
